Enjoy your dining with Kasyou Maki-e Glass, which were created using the techniques cultivated through the production of tea ceremony utensils.

When you pour Sake into it, the entire vessel glows golden yellow, and the bright red and white color of Colored Carp also stands out, giving the user a gorgeous mood.
